"To lead people, walk beside them ... As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence. The next best, the people honor and praise. The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate ... When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves!'"

(Lao-Tsu)

"It's no secret that we're teaching a generation that is more stressed out, debt-ridden, depressed, anxious, impulsive, scholastically amoral (let's be honest), self-entitled, bored, and apathetic than perhaps any other since Aristotle sauntered through the Lyceum ... But what really worries me is students' preoccupation with social media. Their need to stay perpetually connected through Facebook and texting, in particular, creates a daunting firewall to learning."
